If you like them, please feel free to let me know and share. If you hate them, feel free to tell me exactly why. (I joke, please don't do that, I'm a fragile artist. Honest.)

But there are words unspoken.

The ink is fresh, 
On a new, clean page.
I will write lives, loves, desires,
I will not rest ’til the end of my days.
